Theatre • 50 min • Jaki Club
It's Christmas. Time for the family. Father, mother, child, lovers, grandparents. All of them are sitting at the table. With THE MASSACRE, the young author Capsar-Maria Russo takes a dissecting and sarcastic look at the family tangles of our time. Offended vanity, shattered dreams of life and the excessive desire for harmony join the buffet. And, along the way, the insolvent slaughterhouse is to be transformed into a vegan super-food company. THE MASSCRE. A FAMILY CELEBRATION
